Editing 2510

In the year 2510, Triton was present when Rodimus Prime announced that the last remnants of the Decepticons had been destroyed. Unwilling to allow the Autobots to win the war, Triton - an undercover operative and potentially the last Decepticon alive - objected to Springer being chosen as Rodimus Prime’s successor and instead put forward Ultra Magnus as a potential leader.

In the ensuing debate, Triton encouraged the Autobots to quarrel, until Scattershot killed Roadbuster after the latter threatened Triton’s life. Sandstorm, furious at Roadbuster’s death, killed Triton in revenge for causing all the trouble in the first place. Triton died as the Autobots dissolved into a new civil war. 

This event - most likely a Marvel-style "What If?" adventure - must be considered a micro-continuity, as the events depicted contradict events established by the Beast Wars era.
